Barron Gorge & Falls - 20 minute Rainforest Scenic Flight

Our 20-minute Cairns rainforest scenic tour provides a taste of this incredible World Heritage-listed natural region. Cairns sits on a floodplain to the south of the mouth of the mighty Barron River. The Barron river flows 65 kilometers across fertile volcanic soils of the Atherton Tablelands and then journeys through the quaint village of Kuranda before cascading down the 850 ft high Barron Falls and out into the Coral Sea.
